Seattle has been a bit of a fixture for me over the last couple of months. Following Amerivespa in July I visited the Flying Heritage Collection earlier in August. Last weekend I was back in town for a short weekend break. The focal point of the trip was another visit to MoPop (formerly EMP)...
It was on the Ducati, over the border and down to Everett, WA where the Flying Heritage Museum lives in a couple of hangers next to Boeing. The majority of the planes in the collection are airworthy and it shows. A lot of WWII hardware can actually take to the skies. When I visited,...
AmeriVespa may have left town but Seattle is still close to my heart....
Taken a few years back in winter. Even from Port Coquitlam, Baker can dominate the skyline. On a clear day the views are spectacular....

The mainly outdoor attraction is filled with artifacts from the age of giants. Large, mechanical farming and mining equipment was scattered throughout the museum...
It’s raining but I’m not at work and I’m spending time with Lesley. Time to relax and unwind for a couple of days. I’m in the right frame of mind for that to happen, mentally relaxed, letting it all go. First pit stop in Abbortsford. It’s already after 1pm. Hot coffee (too hot) and...
